Default Suspension swap help

I'm new to the bmw world and not sure on what all can interchange yet. I'm in the process of tryin to buy a 95 318 sedan with megan suspension bbs wheels and m3 clip on it fairly cheap considering it runs and drives. My question will the suspension swap over to my hatchback. I seen some places say that it will and some that say it won't, and I figured this would be the place for a real answers. Thanks in advance

Technically, the fronts will swap over fine. The rear parts are different from the E36 coupe/sedan and the ti (rear shocks/springs are slightly longer on the coupe/sedan).

However, people have run coupe/sedan stuff on the ti and made it work. You might not get as low of a drop but it will physically bolt up.
